this is the fox report. a hollywood star home destroyed by fire. authorities trying to determine what cause caused caused it. and almost every american family already does this. lawmakers in the senate playing catchup. coming up with a budget. of course, that is just the beginning. >> harris: it took more than four years. a marathon voting session and burning the midnight oil, but by a razor thin margin the democrat controlled senate finally approved a budget plan.
4:03 pm
fox reports why it is now on a collision course with house republicans. also, a flash in the night sky spotted from florida to new england. in minutes, the ufo that has nasa talking. and a brush with death goes viral. a great white shark skipped the bait and goes straight for the people inside the cage. >> harris: i'm hai harris faul. once pitting the white house against half of capitol hill and the millions of americans against it the affordable healthcare act or obama care turned three years old today. while some of the law has already taken effect the price tag hangs in the balance and it is huge by any measure, democrat or republican. with the stroke of a pen on march 23, 2010 after months of bitter debating in congress president obama made it the
4:04 pm
signature achievement of his first term. it faced numerous appeal attempts and seen a supreme court challenge. john boehner saying when democrats rammed obama care through congress three years ago they did so with a host of promises that are proving more empty by the day. instead of keeping the coverage they have an estimated 7 million americans are at risk of losing health insurance ." then the president marking the day by praising the law saying this in part "the affordable healthcare act will give hard working middle class families the healthcare security they deserve and protect every american from the worst insurance company abuses." all this as preparations continue for a full rollout of the law less than a year from how. molly henneberg live for us in washington. critics say the rollout will mean more taxes. republicans andhs and
4:05 pm
democrats voted to repeal the medical device tax. on everything from latex gloves to wheel chairs to dental instruments. but you insurance industry advocates warn that more taxes from the law are coming down the pike. >> the reform law you includes a new $100 billion tax on health insurance that starts next year. 2014 it will be $8 billion. that will mean an average individual is going to pay over $100 more on the the premium as a result of the alone. small businesses will pay over $350 for each family they provide coverage for are. >> reporter: but president obama contends that obama care is already saving seniors money on prescription drugs and allows young people to stay on family health plans until age 26 and is slowing the growth of healthcare costs. harris? >> harris: i know the president is also saying that there will be more health insurance options for americans later this year but that is also running into some trouble. >> reporter: yes, the obama care law creates insurance exchanges scheduled to be in
4:06 pm
place by october where people can shop for insurance plans. but because many states say the exchanges too unwieldy and expensive for them to set up on a local level it now falls to the federal government to set them up. >> no money was budgeted for the federal government to do that. congress seems unwilling to give the administration money to do that. we are looking at a very messy situation. >> reporter: but the president says these exchanges will give americans and small business owners the choice to pick a health insurance plan that fits their budget. harris? >> harris: molly, thank you. american voters have been asking for years why hasn't the u.s. senate passed a well, after a dizzying marathon of votes and grueling all nighter by lawmaker we have it. senators on capitol hill have produced a budget. the $3.7 trillion plan passed by just one vote. 50-49. they worked through you the night voting time and time again on a slew of amendments to finally get a budget deal done around 5:00 this morning.
4:07 pm
the senate plan includes nearly a trillion dollars in new taxes over the next decade. and $100 billion in stimulus spending. and would do little to cut spending or the deficit. four democrats mark pryor of arkansas, kay haigen of north carolina, mark baggich of alaska and max bachus of montana all up for reelection in november joined senate republicans who voted against it. even though the margin was close senate leaders were praising colleagues for a job well done. >> i know everyone is exhausted. and you may not feel it at the moment but this is one of the senate's finest days in recent years and i commend everyone who has participated in this extraordinary debate. >> first of all, over the last two decades the average budget resolution considered 78 amendments. we have done 101.
4:08 pm
average vote 37 amendments we have done twice as many. doing this has been herculean feat. >> harris: next the senate must reconcile the budget with a plan passed by republicans. now, context showing how differently the plans would deal with the economy. the senate plan calls for $46.5 trillion in spending, nearly $5 trillion more than the house plan and more revenue an additional $1 billion more than the house plan. the biggest difference would be the impact on the nation's ballooning deficit. the senate plan is projected to cut spending by $975 billion over the next ten year. in the same time the house plan would cut a lot more. $6 trillion nearly. and if all this is not enough number crunching for you president obama is expected to release his budget plan in early april. of course, we will take a look and report. europe holding its

4:45 pm
is at what cost. and a trillion dollars is going to be a hard sell for utilities, their regulators and ultimately, harris, the customers who have is to foot the bill for all this. >> harris: a trillion dollars. if you think about the deficit and the chunk that that would represent. where are they going to get that from? not going to be split among all americans obviously. >> reporter: the only way is through rate payors. the federal government does grants in some instances to try to help out but this is something that we will all eventually have to pay for, so they say. >> harris: that is our money, too, the grants. doug luzader. good to see you. >> nothing is free. >> harris: nothing is free. thanks. ambushed in the hall. a vicious attack as the cameras are rolling. where it happened might surprise you. we don't have to tell you nature can be unpredictable but it seems to come as a shock so tomorrow tourists inside that cage who thought that maybe the bait would keep the sharks away. don't hang the fish outside the cage. oh, goodness gracious.
